Posto Tappa Alessio Allegri
3.6About
Posto Tappa Alessio Allegri sits at 1816m on the Gran Strada delle Tre Valli, a high-altitude traversal route linking the Valtournenche, Valleys of Ayas and Gressoney in Valle d'Aosta. Reach it in 3–4 hours from Valtournenche village via the Breithorn trail, or 4–5 hours from the Gressoney valley. The hut marks a logical stopping point for multi-day ridge and valley crossings that connect to Rifugio GoDbera (2,100m) and Rifugio Ranzola (2,010m) on adjacent routes.
The hut operates as a basic rifugio with around 30 beds split between dormitory rooms and small private spaces. It serves hot meals at dinner and packed lunches for the next day's walk. Water comes from mountain sources; toilets are functional but basic. The season runs mid-June through September, depending on snowmelt and weather. Phone ahead in shoulder months to confirm opening dates.
Book directly by phone or email well in advance for July and August weekends. Contact details are available through SAT (Società degli Alpinisti Torinesi) directories and rifugi.net. The hut fills fast during the main trekking season because it's one of few overnight stops on this lesser-known route. Expect the place to be crowded Friday to Sunday in peak summer; aim for weekday visits if you prefer quieter conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–4 weeks ahead during peak season (July–September); shoulder months are more flexible. Contact the hut directly or check rifugio.net for availability and current contact details.
It operates seasonally from late June through September; exact dates depend on snow conditions. Confirm opening dates before planning your trip, as Valle d'Aosta huts can open later than southern Alps.
Approach via the Breithorn trail from Valtournenche village (3–4 hours) or from Gressoney valley (4–5 hours); it sits on the Gran Strada delle Tre Valli, a high-altitude ridge route. Both are well-marked but sustained climbs.
As a basic rifugio, expect simple accommodation (dorm beds), hearty meals, and limited hot water—bring a headlamp and sleeping bag liner. Meals are fixed-menu; book dinner when you reserve.
No—the approach is a sustained 3–5 hour climb at altitude, and it's designed for experienced hikers doing multi-day ridge traversals. It suits mountaineers linking Rifugio GoDbera and Rifugio Ranzola, not casual day-hikers.
